Holland Partner Group has unveiled West, a mixed-use tower in downtown San Diego that is the first structure completed in a planned three-block redevelopment.
West, at 37 stories, features 431 residential units, 289,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of retail space at 1011 Union St.
The next project, the Torrey, is currently under construction and will be home to downtown’s first Whole Foods Market, with completion projected for mid-2026. The three blocks eventually will be linked by a landscape enhanced pedestrian “green street” along Union Street,
“We are excited to officially introduce West to San Diego, a multi mixed-use project that embodies the future of urban living, working and dining,” said Brent Schertzer, managing director at Holland Partner Group. “West is a community that infuses the spirit of San Diego culture into the heart of downtown; a blend of laid-back lifestyle and upscale urban refinement. Our goal is to create an inspiring place that celebrates community, connection and growth.”

The tower also features an art program featuring works from 20 local and regional artists. One, a large glass sculptural piece suspended from the main lobby ceiling, designed by artist Nikolas Weinstein. is meant to mimic the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.
